Not jewellery, but this was a stag I made for an antique restoration job a while back, I modelled the stag's body in two halves using pierced and hammered copper shapes and then adding the modelling wax for the body shapes, then after having the two halves cast in silver, I soldered them together and hand chased a fur textured over the stag's body. I made the antlers from silver wire and soldered them in place.
